Is the CCSF concept finished now ?

Post Reply New Topic

things are crappy all over for lots of us, you aren't alone in your struggles. that is cold comfort at best, I know. I hope you can at least get this one thing done that will fulfill your wish for the uni experience.

...Even if I managed to go to CCSF , that in itself wouldn't be the uni , " full-fledged college " , thing I've spoken of , remember OK , it is , maybe , a little;e pathetic to , when heading in the direction of 60 , be fantasizing about fulfilli0ng my never-acted-out desir6e to watch TV shows with the guys in the dorm and put on funny voices and eat at the cafeteria ~ But it would be a bit of an improvmement on my present social status/situation , in fact .
That aside , I was ASKING for help with the hoped=-for A-I-O and the applications a month back n- Nothing happened .
Things have been INCREDIBLY crappy to-day regarding developments - Including a development that , now , while my money is gone , cuts down my computer access MASSIVELY - while my money is (still ) gone .

Walter, please understand that you may not receive the lift+ that you're asking for. You're an incredibly adventurous and sturdy person, you have overcome a lot in your life. There is a college at 1170 Market St., which is not far from the Cash Checking place that you went to a few weeks ago. If you can make it to 1098 Market St., I think you can make it to 1170 Market St.

Please understand that you needn't keep waiting for a lift+. I don't want to get your hopes up but the fact is that it may never happen. At least not in the next month or so.

Time is critical. You need to make your way to the closest campus, of which there are about two (as I explained in a previous post in this thread) and talk face-to-face with a staff member about your situation. They will hopefully help you with whatever you need help with. Please don't waste any more time - action is needed now as time may run out and then you'd have to wait until next year to enroll.

...I think it has , BY NOW , likely become too late to register for CCSF for Jan. 2017 anyway ! !! !! !! !! IF I HAD BEEN HELPED some weeks ago .........

Also, you can apply for an RTC card ($3 one-time fee) which will entitle you to FREE Muni public transportation.

Just go here SFMTA RTC Discount ID Office, 27A Van Ness Avenue (at Market
Street).

Do what Tobes says...an RTC card will greatly help your ability to get around!

Did you talk to a social worker at the shelter about getting another ATM card yet? If not, make that a goal to accomplish today.

...Briefly , I doubt very much that a Jan. 2017 star6t for CCSF can be done now , and that I could , even i0f it was done , bu up to i0t7 now .
I don't know whether - No , st7rike , I( mean that I AM trying to- get that card ! De5spert7aely .,

...Let me bring up something regarding the political/finacial climate in San Francisco , too , and how it might affect CCSF ~
www.sfexaminer.com (Or , I'm sure you can find the San Francisco Examiner easily enuff other ! !! !! !! !!)
Enter: " ccsf accreditation "
or
" trump san francisco sanctuary city "
or
" free ccsf ed lee "
, and you will see umpteen stories about some sociaopolitical-bugetary issues that could affect any possible going (by me) to CCSF ! Really .

I may be in the minority, and some will think me heartless. But you seem to me to be far from able to handle college level work. If you can't keep a roof over your head, hang on to your belongings, know where your money and ID are, and show up to things on time, college is just a pipe dream. A better choice would be to concentrate on just getting by, and content yourself with the beauty that is all around you.

...What beauty ???
More to the point , I HAVE my ID , have gotten the money back --- and there ARE HL students ! !! !! !! !! !!
And , what would you suggest I do , day-to-day , then ???????????
Maybe if I had HELP !

Nobody owes you a living. In fact, nobody owes you help, either.

If you can't see beauty all around you - especially in San Francisco - there is no point in going to college. It won't make you more alive.

...And nobody owes you help , either , while we're at it .
As for " beautiful " San Francisco , I live in the " not-where-the TV commercials and romantic comedies are shot " Tenderloin/SOMA area - It's not as " scenic " as that - though that is a fairly minor issue itself .
Okay Mr./Ms. What-I-Should-Do-With-My-Life: WHAT SHOULD I DO ?
As far as " trying to be found dead somewhere , having read a few comic books and smiled before I expired " goes , that might've been a little more pull-off-able (1) in Santa Cruz , where there was a quite nice LCS (Local Comics Shop) there near me and a decent #2 Other Comics Shop too - and (2) My body hadn't quite given way as it has in the last year-ish .

...Huh , no answers . Imagine . That .
As for going to CCSF --- I will admit that , simply , the ? of " How would I do the work ? " , specificially " academic "/writing/whatever work - is with me . Especially in my present physical condition .
And also in my present mode of " living " - a shelter - I DO NOT ! think I can find enough space , or time , in that condition to do notes and papers/homework !
Bluntly , too , there's , if I got in somehow and got the grant money for the tuition and fees - And the book and tech I'd need for classes - " How would I keep safe , and store , and carry around said tech " .
Which , furthermore , I do not - would not - really know how to use .
As I have said here before .
And , bluntly ~ keeping things from being lost , or broken - Or STOLEN .
So , Bea , Comp , mebbe I'll go have my useless self die , in a social-Darwinist Ayn Rand-Chuck Norris manner ?
Although , really , it's maybe not that that many of us Aspies " contribute " that much in the same " You must materially SINK OR SWIM ! " " manner , IMHO !
What , Bea , " college-level work " would I have to contribute to meet your approval ?
Or , conversely , (Do there two concepts mix ?) " see beauty around me " , in your judgement that I am doing so ?

Olive Oil Mum posted that she offered you help some months ago and you decided not to take her up on her offer.

Here is the post that she made:
